Good post Neil. I've had that experience and had similar learnings from it. I've also learned from other speakers that the audience has more confidence in you when they think you don't really care about their reactions or other distractions that might occur in the room. When you show that you are ruffled, you lose the audience even further.
Useful Neil, thanks, trying to come to terms with the fact that I may have to present in front of an audience in my new job which was something I never had (or wanted to do) in my previous career.
